n.(名詞)

substance, material, matter, stuff

這組詞都可表示“物質”。其區別在于:

1.matter泛指構成客觀物體或宇宙的所有物質。在物理學上指由很少的幾種基本粒子構成的物質; 在哲學上則指與mind(意識)相對的物質。例如:

Matter occupies space.物質占據空間。

2.stuff, material和substance都可指構成或制作某物的材料或零件, material特指人造制品的制作原料, substance則指某種可使某物具有某種特性的特殊物質。例如:

Hope is the stuff that dreams are made of.希望正是構成理想的材料。

The tips of matches are covered with chemical substance.火柴頭上包著一層化學物質。

3.material還可指文學創作的素材,而其他的詞卻無此義。例如:

He is now collecting material for a biography of Du Fu.他正在為寫作杜甫傳記而收集資料。

4.stuff是日常用語,不用于科技文體中,而其他的詞則可用作科技術語。例如:

He was told to move his stuff out of the room.人家叫他把他的東西搬出房間去。

☆ 1300年左右進入英語，直接源自古法語的substance；最初源自拉丁語的substantia（substare的現在分詞）：sub (從下向上） + stare (站立），意為牢牢站立。
